STORY

 Alright

 

You’ve got me stumbling over my own two feet, feeling like I’m completely swept off the ground every time I’m near you. There’s something about the way you hold me that makes me want to give you everything. It’s simple, but it’s everything I’ve been waiting for. Baby, you’ve got me. I don’t need a big show or grand gestures; just being in your arms is all I want. Time flies when we’re together, and the world fades away as I fall deeper in love with you.

I know now that you’re all that matters to me. I’m not wrapped up in what other people think or any image we’re supposed to uphold. It’s you and me, and that’s all I need. You’ve got me feeling alright, like everything just clicks into place when we’re together. I’ve never felt like this, so steady and sure, yet full of excitement every time I look at you.

I sit and think about you constantly, wondering how I got so lucky to have you in my life. When we’re together, there’s an intensity I can’t quite explain—a need that grows stronger each day. I’ve asked myself if I could ever go without your love, and the answer is clear: I don’t want to, not now, not ever.

You’ve got me alright, alright in a way that feels like home. And I don’t care about anything else—no status, no games, nothing that doesn’t matter. You’re all I need, all I’ve been waiting for, and I’m more than happy to admit it. You’ve got me, and I’m not letting go.

 

What I Like

 

We look at each other, and it's like time stands still. You hold my gaze, and in that moment, I feel like there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Every touch, every soft whisper, draws me closer to you, and I can’t help but smile, feeling completely and utterly at ease in your arms. It’s hard to believe how lucky I am to have found someone who truly understands me, someone who can make me feel this way with just a simple glance.

When I’m with you, the world fades away, and it’s just us, wrapped in this quiet, endless warmth. Your laugh, the way you brush my hair back, even the silence we share—it all feels so right, like it’s where I was always meant to be. I’m so in love with every part of you, and it’s the kind of love that feels so natural, like it was always waiting for us to find each other.

Every night, lying next to you, I feel grateful just to know you’re here, that this is real. You’re not just someone I hold but someone who’s come to mean everything to me. I never thought love could feel this effortless, this freeing. And as I drift off, I hold onto the hope that every day, every moment, will bring us closer together. Because with you, I’m home.

 

I Wanna Love You (For the Night)

 

I woke to the soft glow of moonlight streaming through the window, casting gentle shadows across the room. A quiet emptiness settled over me as I reached out to your side of the bed and found it empty, the sheets still cool from where you’d lain. The stillness seemed to speak, whispering that love like this only comes around once, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of longing that crept into my heart, filling the empty space you left behind.

They say love is fleeting, that it flares up like a spark in the night and fades just as quickly, and maybe they're right. Still, I can’t deny the thrill of these moments we share, even if they’re only temporary. It’s a dance, a beautiful, dangerous game that has me holding on tight for one more night, one more stolen hour before the morning light brings reality crashing back in. In these moments, I don’t want to think about the end—I just want to savor what we have, knowing that tonight is all we’ll ever share.

I’m not here for promises or whispered words of forever. I don’t want to get too close, and I won’t ask you to stay. All I want is to lose myself in the heat of this night, to feel your arms around me, just for now. Tomorrow, we’ll return to our separate lives, but tonight, let’s forget everything else. Let’s live in this single moment, this shared embrace, and let the world wait until morning.

 

Afterlife

 

In the dim light of the evening, I saw the shadow of you and her, hand in hand, a betrayal in every sense. My heart twisted, but I let myself become part of this deception, embracing the lie that I’d rather have a sliver of you than nothing at all. “Just lie to me,” I whispered in the quiet, knowing full well that your heart had wandered far from mine. The truth was painful, a constant sting in my chest, but I chose to believe in the love we once had, even if only as a dream to chase.

I wanted so much for you to stay by my side, even if it meant sharing you with someone else. With every whispered “I love you,” I tried to convince myself that everything would be okay, that somehow you’d come back to me. But deep down, I knew I was fooling myself, tangled in a web of my own making. You left, and the emptiness you left behind echoed through my life, a constant reminder of what could never be.

Each time I watched you walk away, it felt like a fresh wound, like a piece of me broke and shattered. Yet, I couldn’t stop myself from begging for one last lie, one more fleeting moment to pretend you were still mine, even if only in words.

 

Addiction

 

I opened my eyes to the dim light creeping through my blinds, but all I felt was the emptiness beside me, the spot where you should be. A familiar ache filled my chest, a reminder that I had given you pieces of me I could never reclaim. I told myself to walk away so many times, yet here I am, wrapped up in the same cycle, always coming back. This pull, this desperate need to feel close to you, it consumes me even though I know it’s wrong. Like a moth to a flame, I burn myself on your touch, knowing it will only leave scars.

I once believed I could be strong enough to resist, to save myself from this toxic game. But each time you reach out, I feel a surge of euphoria, drowning out every whisper of logic. You’ve become my addiction, the kind that digs deeper each time, drawing me into a maze of desire and regret. You leave, then come back with empty promises, and I let you in, hoping this time it might be different. Yet, as always, I’m left clutching at a fleeting high that fades too quickly, leaving me more hollow than before.

I know I need to break free, but letting go feels like cutting off my lifeline. I’m trapped in this spiral, unable to escape but unable to stay. You are my sweetest poison, and I am bound to you, my own weakness betraying me time and time again. But one day, I hope, I’ll wake up, and the need for you will be gone.

Lie To Me

 

In the shadows of the night, I watched you run around with her, leading a double life but still, I chose to dance the game of lies. If I didn't want to know, what was the harm? I asked myself. All I needed was for you to tell me you loved me, and everything would be okay. “Lie to Me,” I pleaded, even though I know you don’t love me. It kills me inside to watch you love another, so save me from this tragedy and let us pretend to live our love of lies. I know it is wrong of me, but I don’t mind. I love him more than anything in this world and I can’t bear to see him falling in love with someone else. I try to laugh through my tears, as I tell myself it will all be okay soon. Because he tells me he loves me and that is all I need to hear. Deep down inside, I yearned for him to love me again. You should have loved me, boy, haunted by the memory of you. I wish this pain would go away. It drives me crazy, I’m sick to my stomach, my head is spinning, watching you walk out the door. But, knowing that I am a creature of habit, I begged for lies, just one more time.

Playgirl

 

I woke up to the sunlight shining brightly into my eyes as I watched stars dance around my room. A feeling of loneliness crept up my spine as I looked to your side of the bed and found you weren’t there. I heard a voice speak to me, reminding me that “love strikes once, but it won’t strike twice,” as a shape of rays formed Cupid’s arrow through my windowpane. And yet, here I am, still playing the same old game we like to call life. My dream is to one day see the guilty held accountable for their shameless crimes—the kinds of people who have completely lost themselves in life. Vultures, is what I call them. They like to use people, abuse people, and throw them away when they are done with them. But now, the tables are turning. The battle has begun. I will no longer bow down to your throne and be the good little pawn that you want me to be. Because, ultimately, you don’t deserve me anymore. You can deny it all you want, shame my name as you may, but you will never get what you desire. And that is how I became the playgirl.

 

 

Kiss My Tears Away

 

You used to say that I was pretty when I cried, as you looked deeply into my big brown eyes. Even though you are the one who hurt me, I can’t help but ask myself why. What was the point of all of this? I’m now left completely broken inside with this gut-wrenching pain, lying awake, feeling dead in the water. Was it worth it? Was she perfect? Is she all that your heart desires? Does she make you happier than I ever could, or let you have your cake and eat it too? Are you really sorry, or are those simple words you speak? Do you think it will get you out of trouble from the sneaky lies you keep? I hate to admit it but, I wish you were here to kiss my tears away. As I lay awake at night, crying myself to sleep, all I can think about is being held tightly in your warm embrace. Can’t we pretend everything is okay? Even though I know things will never be the same again, please, I beg you—kiss my tears away.

I’m Not Her

 

You ask me to come over, knowing I won’t say no. You tell me you need a shoulder to cry on, but I know that’s just code for what you’re really looking for. You keep playing games, saying it’s over, hoping I’ll beg you to stay. Deep down inside, I know I’ll never be enough for you, yet here we are in this vicious cycle. We go round and round, and though we both know it’s over, you still can’t seem to let me go. And yet, here I am, left alone to figure out why I keep letting you back in. But today, I’ve decided that enough is enough. I can no longer be the girl you call up for fun in the middle of the night, the one you keep at arm’s length because you’re too afraid to let someone get close. I won’t sit by the phone anymore, waiting up, hoping to hear your voice—even if it’s just to tell me you’re going out with the guys. I’m not her. Once you’ve realized I’m moving on, you pull back harder, hoping to reel me in. I begin to grow stronger, fighting back harder, telling you I don’t need you to save me. If you think you can continue to walk all over me, you’ve messed with the wrong girl. I am done being pushed around by you. You try to start your games again, telling me it’s over, expecting me to beg for you. But this time, I’m done. I have accepted that your heart was never really mine to keep and it is time to move on to the love that I deserve. I’m not the girl you can play with. You may not want to let me go, but I’m finally ready to let you go. Because now I know—I’m not her, and I don’t want to be.

 

 

Love

 

I know that you’ve been hurt before, and I understand what that feels like—seeing yourself with someone and then one day they’re gone from your life. Deep down, you know we have all been there before. You and I both see how hard you’re working to try to move forward, and it hurts me to watch you struggle like this. But now, it is time to let go. Instead, give yourself love. We all need love. Know you are loved. I know you’re scared to let go, but that’s ancient history—we’ve already been there and done that. I know you want to wait for the rest of the world to be kind, but now it’s time to step up. You can’t use your past as an excuse to mistreat others. Instead, we’re giving the world love. I’m talking about this thing called love that we all need, and I want you to know that you are love. I know you’ve told me you’ve been running from the rest of the world. You keep on saying that you’ve been hurt before, but that is not what you deserve. You deserve love. You deserve to be loved. Don’t be afraid to take a chance with your love. Know you are loved.

​

 

Without You

 

Sometimes, I find myself wondering how I got so lucky to be with you. Do you ever wonder where life would have taken you if we had never met? I can’t imagine ever being with anyone else. I don’t know what I would do without you. Without you, I would be lost. You are the love of my life and all I have ever dreamed of. From the moment I met you, I thought you were the most perfect human in the world and I knew I would never live a day without you. You make me smile every day of my life. Your love is all I have ever needed to feel fulfilled. I can’t seem to focus and I thought you would have noticed by now that I can’t live without you. When you look at me, am I the girl you’ve always dreamed of? Because I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t deny that I lie awake late at night dreaming of you. I want to grow old with you, share every little adventure, and be your person forever. The thought of losing you terrifies me; I wouldn’t know how to live without you. If you ever have any doubts, I want you to know you are everything to me. I will love you endlessly and never let you go.
